Hi!

I have some questions about formatting the SD Card. Now I have a Vodafone branded Desire and now its time to root and flash a new ROM :)

So after I root my Desire I have to copy the Pays ROM .zip to SD Card right?

I do the flashing process and after reboots I got my new ROM. This is what I found in every HOW TOs.

But WHEN and HOW can I format my 4 Gb SD Card to make an EXT partition for APPS2SD?

In the recovery mode? Or I have to use an app for that? Is it important that when I do the formatting process? So I have to do it exactly after flashing ROM or its OK if I do it later?

Can somebody help me with this? I cant find a proper manual for this problem. I still have my Desire like I bought it, so I havent root or flash ROM yet. I only waiting for this problem to be solved.

One more thing. Am I have to make a gold card? Because I've red that with the new Unrevoked tool I dont have to make it.

PLS HELP!!

Great news :D ! just waiting for it!
[Desire Android Development] leone510es:
Hi!

I did the root and everything was OK, I got the Superuser program in the programs. So this means I have rooted my phone.

But there is a problem. After rooting I went to ROM Manager, but it says that I have to install ClockworkMod Recovery. The was an isntall button and I used it. The CW recovery downloaded. After that I wanted to do a "Backup Current ROM". I gave it a name and the phone rebooted to recovery mode. But it stopped with a big "!" icon. I pushed the power on button to see the recovery menu and it says that:

E: failed to seek in /cache/update.zip (Invalid argument)

E: signature verification failed

Installation aborted.

It's the same reaction if I choose "Reboot to recovery" in ROM Manager.

So I cant do anything. What is wrong? And after all when I installed Titanium Backup (knowing that this app needs root acces) at first run it was asking for root permissions. I choose allow, but after that it says that "I couldnt acquire root privileges. PLS verify that your ROM is rooted an includes Busybox and try again."

So its because I dont have busybox or I did something wrong when rooting? Is it possible that the phone is only "halfway" rooted? Silly question I know, but I cant think of anything else.

PLS Help me!! I cant do a ROM flash until this problem is solved.

great news waiting for HD rom
[Desire Android Development] olipheus:
Maybe I misunderstod PaY, but I think he said he'll make roms for the HD, not HD Rom for the desire...
[Desire Android Development] energyadj:
I think he's working hard to make some customs roms for Desire HD, but in the same time he's trying to "port" the Desire HD roms to our "Desire" !

Pays, please corect me if I'm wrong(I hope not) :D !
[Desire Android Development] Anakha56:
Pays not sure if you are looking at implementing this but I really hope so:

This was Mr pays answer for hd Rom for desire.
[Desire Android Development] olipheus:
Exactly my point. You wouldn't test a Desire port of the HD on a HD, right?

I sure hope he doesn't give up the Desire rom development :)

Any update coming?

I am having trouble downloading file from internet with browser.
[Desire Android Development] tsch:
Danke!

Hi Pays,

thank you for your nice ROM. After AuraxTSense and Leedroid I switched to your rom and i'm finally happy! The one and only rom where I do not get any FCs and everything is working out of the box. Also the nice artwork is - well - nice :).

Hoping for an update in the near future...

Thanks, Thomas
[Desire Android Development] PaY87:
Thanks yes a stable ROM is my main goal.

Of course there will be updates!

At the moment there isn't really new stuff, what could improve the ROM. Most of the stuff is "updateable" with the market.

Pays, do you know what this notification means? all I can think of is something to do with my sim card. it turns on when i make a call until I do a restart.

[Desire Android Development] UKseagull:
Well, I was looking for a near standard HTC style rom, until I spotted this one. I really like the dock style, nice! I have an unrooted and unbranded HTC Desire with a Baseband 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2 radio, am I OK to continue using that with this rom? I've never flashed either a rom or a radio before, I'd rather not have to flash a different radio if at all possible.
[Desire Android Development] phi770:
Would really like this too without loosing sense ! Remote RPDing to the desktop, writing mails, etc. would be soo cool with bluetooth keyboard and mouse.

EDIT: Especially today teamviewer for android became avaiable http://www.teamviewer.com/download/mobile.aspx
[Desire Android Development] nzdcoy:
Radio will not need to be updated. afaik any 5.**.**.** Desire radios work with 2.2 roms

Rom, you need to root your device (use unrEvoked), (do a backup in clockwork mod recovery), wipe all in clockwork mod, then flash this zip file from your SD card in CWM.

Boot loop and phone hanged?

Hi all,

I've been using this ROM from mid October. Some time ago, I faced the problem of a boot loop (where the Pays startup screen will appear, the screen turns black, then the startup screen appear, endlessly) and I decided to reinstall PaysROM 2.2. The problem went away since I re-installed, but now it's coming back again. Moreover, my phone also hung once in a while, sometimes after an incoming SMS (or phone call - I can't really confirm this).

My questions are:

1. Could it be my micro-SD card that might cause the problem?

2. Could it be one or more of the installed programs? (My radio is a very updated version, BTW)

3. Could it be the "motherboard" which someone commented previously?

4. Are there any ways to debug which program/process is/are causing the crash?

In any case, if it's a motherboard issue, I'll need to restore the original ROM before sending for a review and I won't be able to do it as I'll be on holidays for 2 weeks from Sunday. I just hope that the phone doesn't decide to stop working while I'm in Sydney! :eek:

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

cheers!
[Desire Android Development] UKseagull:
Right, I've just flashed this rom (my first ever flash) and once it's booted I see "Sorry! The application settings (process com.android.settings) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." Is that anything to be concerned about?
[Desire Android Development] Anakha56:
@ Pays have you ever considered doing a transparent lockbar like neophytes Aura ROMs? I just think the phone looks so much better with the transparent lockbar and flashing his theme kinda kills your status bar icons :(.
[Desire Android Development] UKseagull:
I'm also getting this when trying to setup my Access Point Names. :confused:
[Desire Android Development] PaY87:
Did you partition your SD card correctly?

Did you use any Backup software after flashing the ROM?

Did you do a full wipe (also format the ext partition)?

Maybe its a good idea to publish a non Apps2SD version for people with problems.

I really think this could be the problem for some ones! :)
[Desire Android Development] Donkey Kong:
Hello Pays, it is nice to see that you are still hanging around.

Just wondering what you are currently working on and appreciate if you could give me some feedback on your HD desire if you have received it.
[Desire Android Development] UKseagull:
Hi Pays, thanks for the reply. As far as I can tell yes I partitioned correctly, 512mb for the ext3 and the rest as fat32. I followed a guide and wiped data, cache etc but got the error as soon as the setup screen appeared after a reboot.

I didn't flash the radio as I already have a 5 version, I'm trying to avoid that.

I flashed the Rom twice in total but still got the same errors. I'm back to my original Sense Rom at the moment. I'd like to get your Rom installed if at all possible, the a2sd+ would be a big bonus.

Wipe battery, wipe rotation? :confused:
[Desire Android Development] UKseagull:
Would it do any harm to re-run unrevoked?
[Desire Android Development] UKseagull:
I tried downloading the Pays rom again, flashed, wiped, wiped flashed etc but still exactly the same errors. I finally gave up on it and flashed LeeDroid just to see if that would work and it did! No errors at all (so far). :)
[Desire Android Development] kargtan:
HELP!

Hi Pays, or any one of you who are knowledgeable,

Any comments or help please?

Thanks!

[Desire Android Development] Anakha56:
@ kargtan Are you using the radio that is specified in the first post? Just wondering if (and I have no idea on how this works) the radio you have (32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27 I presume?) is compatible with the RIL's that come with this ROM? Just a shot in the dark. Also what is your flashing process? Are you formatting all the required areas or just flashing the new version on top of the old? And finally to help debug where the problem could be maybe try do a fresh install of the ROM from scratch with no apps installed, if it still does it then I would be inclined to look at hardware fault if no then add apps one by one and see what causes the problem. Oh and have you flashed any kernels like the one from richard or the sdfix kernel?
[Desire Android Development] kargtan:
Hi Anakha56,

Thanks for your reply.

I'm currently on 32.48.00.32U_5.11.05.14, which I believe is an adequate version for this.

As I faced the similar problems the last time round, I actually reinstalled all programs from scratch, instead of restoring from MyBackUp that i used to do. The phone has been quite stable until recently - these days it will hang or the screen goes blank (with the alert LED still on!) without me knowing.

As I'm traveling tomorrow, I don't think I'll have the time and energy to do anything drastic until I'm back. I'm inclined to restore the original ROM (or another ROM) to use it for a while to see what happens. If the same thing happens, I think I'll have the answer.

Anyway, thanks for your reply. Really appreciate it.

rgds.

About AlphaRev 1.5 & Pay's

What is the right partition table for this rom - If i use alpharev and want to manualy push the correct hboot image (via fastboot)...

Can I use Bravo Data++ or should i conform to Bravo Sense?
[Desire Android Development] kopsu:
and second question (bit off-topic maybe)

where the heck is part of my installed applications after the nandroid backup/restore. (did that hboot flash in between).. is there any way to fix those? i guess that it has something to do with cache or permissions... some apps work, some don't. did some googling but no dice, instructions in forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/8504-gapps-package-updates/page__p__75149#entry75149 won't work with pay's?
[Desire Android Development] nzdcoy:
^^looks like it is rolling back the installation. can you try turning off signature verification checks in your recovery mode?

Rom works with default partition sizes, I haven't tried any other sizes.

does this link help? http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/9881-desire-has-less-space-for-apps-than-magic/
[Desire Android Development] PaY87:
The problem is not that some files getting deleted, this is normal.

I think you did not partition right.

Use 0 for Swap and e.g. 512MB for ext2 or 3. ( I always recommend 2 for flash devices). Which recovery do you use?

By the way I am working on a HD ROM for the Desire now.. ;)
[Desire Android Development] SamePaul:
The best news of today :)
[Desire Android Development] energyadj:
Great news :D ! Eyes on you :)
[Desire Android Development] Furma:
with or without the working camera?
[Desire Android Development] bamserl:
768mb ext3 and 32mb swap (worked fine for me so far)

recovery is AmonRA 2.0.0
[Desire Android Development] PaY87:
Change swap to 0, more than 0 should slow down your device a bit :)
[Desire Android Development] PaY87:
I am working on that camera issue in the hd roms, too but its not working perfectly yet.
[Desire Android Development] bamserl:
still no luck. i partitioned my sd card now with 512mb ext, no swap. still the same problem with "deleting files"

i give it a try with unrevoked and flash the newest CWM. maybe that helps.

edit: still no luck with 8gb sdcard, 512mb ext2, 0mb swap, wipe as mentioned.

will try it now with CWM

edit: from within rommanager and cwm 2.5.0.7: no differerence... deleting files and stuck ah htc screen.

If your Marked worked previously and doesn't work now this can help you too, I guess.
[Desire Android Development] Johannn90:
any updates coming? :D

Based on V2.29? And including DATE2EXT? :D
[Desire Android Development] Anakha56:
I am hoping someone in this thread can help me. I bought a new microsd card for the phone because the 4GB was getting a wee bit tight on space. Now after some Googling it appears that there a different ways of doing this with the most simple being copy data from old card to hard drive then take out the new card in and copy the data back. So I went with this method and I am failing big time :(.

I am able to boot the ROM and I downloaded and installed ROM Manager to partition the card however it keeps on failing on reboot :(. Once it reboots into recovery it sits with a white triangle that has a orange exclamation sign in it. When I press the power button I see a error "E:failed to seek in /cache/update.zip (Invalid argument) E:signature verification failed. Installation aborted".

What would be the correct way to get this working? Should I just re-run unrevoked? Please bear in mind that I am a Windows user so delving into Linux is unfamiliar territory for me (last time I did it was in high school 2001) as is using ADB. I also used unrevoked to to root my phone and from there ROM Manager to partition the card. For now I have put the 4GB card back into the phone no idea if the phone will be stable but hey its a good experiment :P.
[Desire Android Development] nzdcoy:
Either:

1: I recommend Amon-Ra for all your recovery needs. google that. you can partition the sd card from the main recovery menu rather than doing it in an app.

2: try partitioning the card in windows. do you have an adaptor in your computer? if so, try a program like this or this to copy/create the ext2/3 partition.

3: uninstall/reinstall rom manager
[Desire Android Development] Johannn90:
PAYS HD is now available! :D very nice.

Are there also updates coming for the "normal" ROM?
[Desire Android Development] Anakha56:
Thank you for the response :). In the end I did things very differently.

1: I did not want to risk changing recovery option. Not to sure on how to do it so I persevered. Funny thin though when I apply the clockwork update.zip it tells me that this process cannot be undone and flashes clockwork to 2.5.0.7 yet when I reboot the phone it goes back to version 2.5.0.1 :confused:.

2: Dont own either app and dont have money to buy the apps right now so I needed a cheaper (free) solution which I found :). More on this later.

3: Does not work, even deleting the update zip and leaving my nandroids in place still gets me no where.

How I fixed my partition problem was download the gparted live cd, boot off of that and partition the new SD card that way. I did fail a couple of times until Google pointed me in the direction that the FAT32 partition goes first then the EXT partition once it was done this way it worked first time. Then I saw Pays release regarding his HD ROM and saw I needed to update EXT to 1GB and I used gparted to do that as well :).

Thanks for your reply, really do appreciate it :).
[Desire Android Development] nzdcoy:
no problem.

OH, and btw, unrevoked can change your recovery to amon-ra, you just set a custom recovery :)

sim card problema

Hi

a recently bought a new Desire to make a present for my father

I immediatly installed tha last Pays rom, but now I have a problem:

every time I restart the phone, I see a message that the sim card has changed.

If I try to access the APN configuration, the program crashes and internet

doesn't work

Please help me to resolve this problem

Thank you very much
[Desire Android Development] Bart1981:
It's a common 'problem' which is actually not really a problem. Just clear the notification field. It only shows up when you reboot your phone.
[Desire Android Development] simonvi:
The real problem is that a cannot use internet

I have also tried a different rom but the problem remains: could it be the

phone?
[Desire Android Development] Anakha56:
You sir are the first to answer that question! I will run it tonight thank you :).
[Desire Android Development] hemantrps:
Hello,

This error "Sim Card Changed" and then "com.android.settings" FC this arrises from a file:

"/system/etc/apns-conf.xml"

This file has some errors which triggers it. I have attached the fixed APN file (extracted from Leedroid 2.2b) and replaced mine. This fixed my problem and I am sure, by following the instructions below you all can get rid of this problem.

1) download this file and extract it on your /sdcard/

3) Download apnbackupandrestore by ritesh shahu from market

4) Run apnbackupandrestore and backup existing apns and then delete exisitng ones from phone.

5) run the following commands

$ adb shell

$ su

# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

# rm /system/etc/apns-conf.xml

# exit

adb push /sdcard/apns-conf.xml /system/etc/apns-conf.xml

6) Shut down the phone and take out battery for few seconds

7) now restart your phone and your phone runs normally.

I investigated on it because I liked this Rom and I would like Pays to continue development, he is a great cook.

I have tried my level best to explain how I sorted the problem, there may be more ways to achieve the same. If any one has any problem please do not hesitate in contacting me.

Cheers,

Hemant

Download Rom manager from the market, that app can partition SD card for you but I think the max size it can do is 512mb.

It is really a very good choice. The only thing that has troubled me is that compared to other sense roms (ie: AuraxTsense, Leedroid, Alex etc) this one has a battery drain issue, at least noticable to me.

Actually what shaun said would be best. Use ROM Manager to do your partition with 0 swap space.
